[MUSIC] To make a difference, you have to know who you are and what you stand for. And yet, there's one more piece in being influential at work. Because even when you know who you are and what you stand for, and you've built your skills, and you have some great personal scripts. And you recognize the cognitive biases, and you can avoid career tragedies. You still have to be able to communicate your ideas effectively to others. You have to be able to persuade them. You have to be able to influence them. You have to have your ideas be heard and accepted. So this week we'll be talking about, what are the skills that go into being effective as a communicator. Speaking with credibility, being approachable when you need to be, being able to influence people. And we'll talk a little bit about negotiation skills because in the end of the day negotiation is about influence and persuasion. So this week we're going to focus on you and your skills. When you have that great idea, when you believe that the team needs to go a different direction, how do you express yourself in ways that you will be heard and have influence? And be a leader. [MUSIC]
